The book aims to teach compassion and tolerance, whilst raising money for the refugee movement. 50% profits from the sale of this book will go to Sheffield City of Sanctuary. The Story tells the tale of a pet wolf, forced to leave her home country when her family can no longer feed her. After a dangerous journey across the sea, she washes up in a country where they keep pet dogs and there is a phobia around wolves. Will she find a new family to take her in, or will they tell her to 'Go Back To Where You Came From?' Diversity, compassion and multiculturalism are at the heart of this self-publishing children's story book project, which has been crowdfunded by an incredible community of generous, kind-hearted backers.
